Donalds, Jolly lead Florida governor primaries with month to Aug. 18 vote
The segment reports frontrunners in the Aug. 18 Florida governor primaries one month out. On the Republican side, Rep. Byron Donalds leads with 48% in a new Tyson Group poll; challengers Jay Collins, James Fishback and Paul Renner trail. Opponents push for debates and Fishback faces a $400,000 AI ad attack from a Ted Cruz-aligned group alleging antisemitism. On the Democratic side, former Rep. David Jolly released a video addressing past ties to indicted Clearwater businessman Leo Govoni and leads a Change Research poll (commissioned by Freedom Project USA) over Donalds in a hypothetical general-election matchup.
